School Emergency Protocols

The safety and security of PS 129 students is our number one priority. We provide training to our staff and students to plan for the unlikely event of a serious emergency. In the act of an evacuation, we will update the school website as soon as it is safe to do so. Evacuation location details will be provided here.
